Demonstrated high performance with 10,461 Gbps of threat protection performance
The Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10000 Next-Generation Firewall Series delivers effective firewall, intrusion prevention and deep security scaled to the largest networks at multi-gigabit speeds, without the complexity of having to manage separate appliances, GUIs and deployments. It utilizes Dell’s patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® engine to detect and prevent the advanced evasion techniques used to conceal traditional intrusion attacks at all layers of the network stack. The solution uniquely scans every byte of every packet of inbound and outbound traffic, regardless of port and protocol, and delivers full content inspection of both plain text and SSL encrypted traffic.

Dell SonicWALL’s IPS adds to these deep security capabilities with advanced context awareness that includes geo-location visibility, user identification, and application identification. Dell SonicWALL next-generation firewalls also offer inspection and identification of documents and content, and can scan for administrator-specified custom content like text strings and credit card numbers.

The SonicWALL SuperMassive E10000 Series can be deployed as an inline bump-in-the-wire mode to provide an additional layer of security in an existing network without introducing complexity or requiring topology changes. It also can be deployed at the network perimeter, adding next-generation firewall threat prevention and security capabilities, and lowering Total Cost of Ownership by providing equipment consolidation and ease of use.
